Analysis of Life
Life,
Life is a chess game.
Make the wrong move,
Get captured.
Say the “wrong” thing,
Dress the “wrong” way,
Look the “wrong” figure.
Get picked on,
Bullied.
Get captured,
Lose a piece.
Become distant,
Lose a friend,
Be to clingy,
Lose a friend.
Called fat, lose weight
Check,
Need to block,
Or move your king.
Block the toxic people,
‘Why’d you block me?’
Unblock them.
Distance yourself.
‘We never talk anymore’
Talk to them.
Check mate,
Nowhere to go, but to surrender,
Nowhere to go,
But to just give up.
